VDA

No, it's really nothing. Just saying it's mundane stuff that BP has made better. Anecdotal. Nothing average club probably isn't already doing on some level. Sorry you were cheated on at some point and think everything is a big secret.

VDA recruitment has to be best in area. Entire 2005/2006 team went D1, FSU and UCLA included, to note the quality. VT, Xavier, Seton Hall, Boston, Tennessee, Clemson, Wake... Honest question: is there another DMV club with that much firepower in recruitment?

You do realize that started before BP got there. Right?

blasphemy…. BP is the reason for the season

Yep. Watched whole team go D1 before he arrived, BUT, the point is new avenues are already showing themselves with his arrival. It's an observation and real data point. Many many parents tried to get any UVA attention only to find out UVA's calls weren't passed to parents or players, so they stopped contacting. Anyway, BP is a net positive so far, that's not up for debate. A lot of insider team stuff too, but that's too boring for these volcanic threads.

Not insider team stuff - Geez dude - grow up. VDA was moving in all the right directions before BP. With the shake up of FVC and CC leaving - VDA and other teams got new players and players from many other teams shuffled.

As a parent there... I will wait - as you all should - to see if one person is making an impact as a coach. So far, not so much.

Nothing shabby either at VRSC with CC. Did CC and BP ride someone else’s success wave at FCV?

I think certain clubs just get lucky assembling teams. VDA 06's, the old FCV 07's, and right now BP is probably banking on the VDA teams taking off after the players he brought over to shore up teams. For any VDA parent to say that they would have the same results this year without those players and BP is crazy.

+1 - VDA 07 team was a mediocre team. On the other hand the FCV was a national champion.

VDA 09 made the round of 16 twice without BP.

Players making the difference for VDA 08 did not come with BP.

VDA 2010 had passed Union 2010. BP took over and they lost 1-4.

VDA 06/07 is mostly holdovers from dominant VDA 06.

I'm not saying that the 09 VDA team wasn't already successful, but nobody can say that who he did bring in isn't giving that team a boost. Sure, they may still be somewhat successful if those things didn't happen this past offseason, but make no mistake about it, the changes will push that team even further than they could without them.

isn't the roster size supposed to be the same for boys and girls and for any 11x11 youth team U13 thru U19?

Correct in that teams generally can only roster 18 on game days but older teams generally carry more players due to injury/availability/etc.

I agree on the VDA 06/07 analysis, but the 10s, 09s and 08s were all impacted greatly by the FCV players directly brought by BP, and the other players (09 AND 08) that wanted to come to the club where he was going. 10s, 09s and 08s were 3rd, 3rd and 5th in the MA last year, and are 2nd, 1st and 3rd now. I know people like to hate on this board, but it's fair to credit BP with some of that success.

So at u13 and u14 roster is 18? No flex players that come and go to a second team like MLSN teams?

On the Vda 06/07, 6 out of the 7 fcv girls start and play most of every game. That is decided by ML, not BP, so I would say the fcv girls have made an impact on the 06/07 team. As well as the other strong 5 Vda holdovers that get a lot of playing time as well. So Vda would definitely not be as strong without these fcv additions.
